High key or low key. You can interpret creatively or stick to the classic definitions. Here are a few links:

As always please post only new photos. Sorry this is late!

Night in the La Brea Tar pits. The struggle never ends!

Not quite pure high key because I didn't have a lighter background for this image, but the sunny feeling and the colors of the main subject(s) are in high key. Casual portrait of my daughter with her doggie this afternoon.

Again, so sorry about all the tulips.

I should get a reward for this because I was holding a speedlight and flashbender in my left hand, the big 'ol camera in my right, and squatting with a 48 inch silver reflector between my legs. Got the low key exposure I was looking for. What's cool about this lens: this is SOOC except cropped.

Then, by accident, I turned auto ISO on, the camera boosted to 6400, and I got a free, unintended high key shot.

Okay maybe its a 42 inch reflector.
